Suicide Prevention: What I have learned.
2024-12-29 10:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | West Room and Zoom
Suicide is the 11th cause of death in the US. While the holidays can be a joyful time for many . It can also be a difficult time with those suffering from depression. I have learned a lot in the last year and half working with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevent I want to share some of that with you. Let’s look at risk factors and what we as people can do to stop suicide and save lives.

What Gifts We Have- (Mitten Tree story and decoration)
2024-12-22 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
This time of year, we begin to think about what gifts we will give to those we love. Sometimes, we drive ourselves to mental and emotional exhaustion trying to find “just the right thing.” This Sunday, we will explore gift-giving from a spiritual perspective.

We have a lot to celebrate. We will hear the story of The Mitten Tree, decorate our own mitten tree, and celebrate those who have shared their gifts with us. Please bring unwrapped new mittens and socks to place on the boughs. Wrapped packages of men’s and women’s underwear to go under the tree. These much-needed items will be delivered to a shelter after the holidays.
Come join us and help us make merry!

Winter Solstice Service
2024-12-21 08:00 - 17:00 | West Room and Zoom
During the Winter Solstice, the Earth’s axis is tilted the farthest away from the sun causing the path of the sun in the sky to travel the farthest south. The sun travels the shortest path through the sky resulting in the day of the year with the least sunlight and therefore, the longest night. Join us as we acknowledge the gifts of darkness and celebrate the hope that the return of greater daylight brings.

"Here We Come A Wassailing"
2024-12-08 08:00 - 17:00 | West Room and Zoom
The Victorian variation of wassailing involves going door to door singing Christmas carols in exchange for wassail and treats. Come prepared to sing Christmas carols and to sample wassail!
Immediately following the service, we will enjoy a bit of wassail and exchange cookies. After which, we will trim the Christmas trees. The Craft Group Sale will be ongoing. There’s something for everyone!
This Sunday is a great time to bring cash for the craft sale, cookies for the cookie exchange, an ornament to trim the tree, and mittens, scarves, or socks for our mitten tree!

Life is What You Make of It, So Beautiful, or So What?
2024-12-01 08:00 - 17:00 | West Room and Zoom
A Paul Simon song from 2011 called, “So Beautiful, or So What” musically illustrates the theme that we can choose how we take the things that happen: Life is what we make of it. However we make those choices, the first step to making the most beautiful choices is to be aware that we are making a choice.

A National Day of Thanksgiving: Separating the Myth from the Magic
2024-11-24 08:00 - 17:00 | West Room and Zoom
Join us on Sunday as Rev. Lee Anne explores the holiday’s dual essence—its cherished rituals of gratitude and togetherness and the complex truths behind its origin story. While the magic lies in connecting with loved ones and celebrating abundance, the myth of Pilgrims and Native Americans oversimplifies and obscures the deeper history of colonialism. Together, we’ll honor the spirit of Thanksgiving while uncovering a fuller, more honest narrative.

Zombies!
2024-11-03 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Zombies are a quintessential part of the landscape of horror, especially around Halloween in the United States. They evoke fear, disgust, racing hearts, and blood curdling screams in the night. But what can zombies and our fear of them tell us about ourselves and the human experience? Join us to peel back the curtain on this surprising and ghoulish topic.
